I love trees...
However, I know some that had to cut down their large tree, because it was looming over their house.
After a few storms that caused house damage, they decided to cut it down since they got scared that it might fall and collapse on the house. That thing was large, and if it did fall down it would have cut their house in half.

As for what that guy did... I just don't understand.
